Dingjiangshan

It's a pity that Ning Zheng seems destined to fail Ning Yan's "hard work".

Ten days later, an urgent military order knocked on the gate of the capital, and it was handed over to the cabinet's desk overnight, and it was rushed into Ning Huaijin's hands.

——Changle Wang Ningzheng, who led his troops out of the fief without being summoned, is already approaching Nanyang Mansion.

When the governor of Nanyang received the news, he could only pray to God that Ning Zheng would not go too crazy, and urgently sent his disciples to question him.But this Changle King didn't know whether he was self-confident or what, he didn't even bother to find an excuse, and said carelessly that he had heard the news from the middle of Beijing and planned to go to Beijing to visit the Holy Majesty.

But let’s not say that Ning Zheng couldn’t come up with the edict of summoning. When the kings from all over the country came to the capital, they could only bring one or two hundred guards at most. How could they move out the soldiers like him.

The Governor of Nanyang has been sleeping soundly beside Ning Zheng's couch for the past ten years, sleeping tossing and turning all night, afraid that one day he can't swallow this breath and the cavalry will rebel. He has been worried for so many years. up.

Changle King, everyone who is older in the officialdom knows a thing or two about him.At the beginning, when the Shuangjiao seized the heirloom, there was an uproar, but this master who could stand against Ning Yu in court had a lot of thoughts.The Yin of Nanyang Prefecture was afraid that the one-acre land in front of him would not be enough for people to swallow, and he didn't care whether Ning Zheng really had that intention, so he simply handed over a military order to the capital.

Although he was timid, but fortunately he was cautious, and now Baba ordered his cronies to hurry up and hurry up, ran away and killed the two horses in the post station, and sent this military order into the capital.

Ning Yan intentionally hibernates these days, on the one hand to calm down to drink medicine and push poison, on the other hand, he also wants to take this opportunity to see who is active outside, so he has been complaining of illness for ten days and never went to court, and has been nestling in the palace drinking Cha read the story book to tease Xiao Diao, and lived a very happy life, as if he had completely forgotten the unresolved troubles in the harem.

It's just that he can forget, but there are still people thinking about it.

In addition to being the queen mother, Ruan Yin is also related to her clan. There is an uncle on the left and an aunt on the left, which is very reasonable.

She was surrounded by the Imperial Army for "no reason" in the palace, unable to get out, unable to enter, even sending a message would be stopped by the Imperial Army at the door, but within three or two days, most of the clan members outside received it information.

This also made those old guys quite dissatisfied-it doesn't matter whether Ruan Yin is wrong or not, in any case, she represents the face of the clan, even if she made a mistake, Ning Yan shouldn't make such a big fuss and make the court full Everyone knew that Ruan Yin was locked up in the palace.

Ning Yan can surround her in the palace with such a big fanfare today, how can he know that he can't embarrass these uncles for other mistakes in the future.

Ning Yan originally had a reputation of "weak kinship", but it's good that he doesn't interfere with each other on weekdays, but now he has become involved in Ruan Yin's big prison regardless of face, but he has already surpassed the "living in peace" limit.

Over the past few days, the old princes and princesses of various families have also entered the palace several times in turn. Ning Yan knew what they were going to say with his eyes closed. Illness, whoever chews the tongue, refuses to eat soft or hard ones, just pretends to be weak, says three sentences and replies with one sentence, without giving any face.

The clan relatives knew that he was cheating, but they couldn't do anything about him.In the end, Ning Yan simply closed the door, and no one disappeared.

"You hide like this, you can hide past the first day of the new year but not the fifteenth day." At that time, He Wenting had just dealt with two groups of "little princesses" who came to visit, and Jing Zhan happened to be delivering medicine to Ning Yan in the house, and raised his eyebrows when he heard that , said: "And the more you hide, the more they feel that they are justified, and instead stand on Ruan Yin's side."

"Just stand there." Ning Yan said: "Instead of letting my good 'mother' think about this every day, why don't I help her."

Jing Zhan's ears were so full of cocoons when he heard this kind of words. From the very beginning, Ning Yan insisted on keeping Jiang Xuan by his side, and had been "helping her". If Jing Zhan hadn't known him for ten years, Most likely, he would think that he wanted beauties but not Jiangshan, and that he would give up the throne in his hands.

People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Although the clan members may not have much real power in their hands, they can always say a few words in the court with the reputation and status of the royal family.Ning Yan already had a dynamite hanging on his body that he didn't know when it would ignite, and he didn't want to be softer with his clan, Jing Zhan looked worried for him.

"That's right." Ning Yan said suddenly: "This poison...the poison will spread to the descendants, you didn't say it."

"No." Jing Zhan said, "How dare I utter a few words about such a big matter. My master and I have taken good care of the prescriptions these days. Don't worry."

Ning Yan still seemed worried, and asked again: "Does the emperor don't know?"

When he mentioned this, Jing Zhan remembered it.Ning Huaijin already knew part of the poison in Yuanjiang Mansion, but she didn't ask about it after she came back, and Jing Zhan didn't think of telling him about it.

"I don't know—even my adoptive father doesn't know." Jing Zhan said, "Do you want to tell the prince?"

"No need." Ning Yan answered quickly: "Don't talk about it for now."

Jing Zhan could probably sense some of his thoughts, and guessed that he didn't want this matter to affect Ning Huaijin and influence his decision, so he didn't say anything more.

"I said—" Jing Zhan elongated his tone slightly, and brought the topic back to Ruan Yin: "Do you really want to walk this tightrope?"

"I've already walked halfway, if I don't leave now, who will pick me up?" Ning Yan looked dead like a pig and was not afraid of the boiling water, and even smiled and said: "Maybe Ning Zheng is hot-headed, so he will send it to me by himself." The trouble comes from the head, and when the time comes, everything will be justified, and the clan will not be able to say a word of no."

"Your Majesty." Jing Zhan put the back of his hand on Ning Yan's forehead, and said sincerely: "You don't have a fever, so don't have a big dream. After you die, if you want to adopt in the future, it must be from my family. Choose. Based on the current relationship between your clan and you, as long as Ning Zheng sits at home, he is [-]% sure that he will rebel only because he is crazy while holding this pie that fell from the sky with Ruan Yin in his mouth."

"That's right." Ning Yan nodded in conviction, then stretched out his hand to him, and said, "A gamble? If I win, the rest of the half-month tonic will be free."

Jing Zhan raised his eyebrows and patted his hand.

"If Your Majesty loses, I will add half a root of Coptis chinensis to your medicine."

Apart from Jing Zhan, Ning Huaijin actually didn't have any hope for the matter of "Ning Zheng's own brain burning out". He was even afraid that Ning Yan was young and soft-hearted, and couldn't bear to attack his brother, so he took the first step from the cabinet. I wrote a letter to the border town, telling Guan to send troops in the future, just waiting to leave at any time.

Therefore, when Baili from Nanyang Mansion urgently submitted it to his desk, Prince Gong's first reaction was that he was tired recently and had hallucinations.

It's just that the servants of the Nanyang Mansion are still kneeling in the hall, covered in dust and dust, their eyes are red, their hands and feet are weak when they kneel on the ground, and their legs are trembling slightly from riding horses day and night. It doesn't look like a dream.

Ning Huaijin opened the letter suspiciously, read it twice from the beginning to the end, still found it incredible, and even pinched her thigh under the table, feeling the pain, and only then did she have a sense of substance.

— Could it be that he thought too much about Ning Zheng?Ning Huaijin thought.

But then he dismissed the idea, Ning Zheng had endured it for ten years, it was impossible for him to lose his composure at this juncture.

Ning Huaijin put down the urgent report in her hand, and her first reaction was that Ning Yan had done something in it.

However, the facts seemed to be quite different from what he had guessed. When Prince Gong entered the palace overnight and delivered this urgent report to Ning Yan, Ning Yan's first reaction was to order He Wenting to deliver the letter to Jing Zhan.

"Tell Ah Zhan, he lost to me again." Ning Yan said cheerfully, "I can skip the tonic for the next half month."

"Your Majesty—" Ning Huaijin said, "You switched Ruan Yin's message with Ning Zheng's?"

If not, Ning Huaijin really can't think of any reason why Ning Zheng can ignore all the calculations made by Ruan Yin, so as to take a path that is completely opposite to Ruan Yin's expectation.

The smile on Ning Yan's face hadn't faded yet, his eyes were crooked, and when he turned his head to look at Ning Huaijin, he also looked gentle and soft.

He didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either, he just tilted his head in an unclear way: "Hmm."

Ning Huaijin raised her eyes, looked around in a circle, and finally fixed her eyes on Linglong.

"...Miss Linglong is so thorough in turning her back on the dark?" Ning Huaijin sarcastically said.

"Half and half." Ning Yan said: "That rainy night when the Imperial Army besieged the palace, the empress mother let a kite out with her own hands. She thought I didn't know, but in fact my 'eyes' could see clearly."

"The queen mother's kite has been trained, and has traveled many times. If it is shot down halfway, it will turn back even if it is released again." Ning Huaijin wondered: "How did your majesty change the letter halfway?"

Ning Yan seemed to want to show off, he winked at Ning Huaijin and said, "Uncle Huang wronged someone, I didn't hit that kite."

"I said it at the beginning, I will give the third brother a chance." Ning Yan fed the remaining half of the broken cake in his hand to the little mink, then put it on the ground, patted the broken pieces in his hand, and looked sideways. Looking over at Ning Huaijin, he said with a smile: "——Third brother doesn't cherish it, he insists on following the old path of fourth brother."

Although there was a smile on Ning Yan's face, the temperature in his eyes cooled down. His eyes were like knives, firm and sharp, as if he had finally lost the generosity and easy-going that he had been using to confuse his sight before, and began to reveal the truth hidden underneath. appearance.

This blade was originally forged by the former emperor himself, and it had been honed by the years and the court for ten years, and it finally showed its icy coldness in this belated "brothers' struggle".

Ning Huaijin was stunned for a moment, and saw Ning Zongyuan's shadow from him in a daze.

"Uncle Emperor." Ning Yan said, "It's time for me to go to court tomorrow."
